Biographical History

Trinity Baptist Church was established in 1875. During the church's first two years, congregants met at Ridgewood Hall on Broadway in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. In 1877, Trinity's chapel opened, located on Greene Avenue between Patchen Avenue and Broadway in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The majority of the founding congregation was comprised of members from the Willoughby Avenue Baptist Church.

From the guide to the Trinity Baptist Church ledger, 1874-1915, (Brooklyn Historical Society)

The Baptist faith was practiced as early as the 17th and 18th centuries in the territories and colony that are now known as New York City. However, a Baptist house of worship did not come to Brooklyn until 1823, with the founding of the First Baptist Church (later known as the Baptist Temple). In 1847, the first African-American Baptist church in Brooklyn, Concord Baptist Church of Christ, was founded. Baptists were one of the largest denominations in the City of New York during the mid-19th century, continuing to grow with the influx of immigrants into the 20th century.
